DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(17) The present disclosure provides a method for preparing a CsPbX.sub.3 perovskite quantum dot film by one-step crystallization, including the following steps:

(18) (1) mixing a cesium halide, a lead halide, and a ligand with a solvent to obtain a precursor solution;

(19) (2) depositing the precursor solution on a substrate, and then heating the substrate to obtain the CsPbX.sub.3 perovskite quantum dot film;

(20) X in the CsPbX.sub.3 being one or more of Cl, Br, or I; and

(21) the ligand being adamantanemethylamine and hydrohalic acid.

(22) The present disclosure mixes the cesium halide, the lead halide, and the ligand with the solvent to obtain the precursor solution. In the present disclosure, the ligand is adamantanamethylamine and hydrohalic acid; and a molar ratio of adamantanemethylamine to hydrohalic acid is preferably 1:2-2:1, and more preferably 1:1. The present disclosure uses adamantanemethylamine and hydrohalic acid as a strong ligand system due to the synergistic effect thereof, which can quickly coat the perovskite, complex with the CsPbX.sub.3 perovskite, and directly form the perovskite quantum dot via a strong steric effect.

(23) In the present disclosure, the cesium halide is preferably one or more of CsCl, CsBr, or CsI; the lead halide is preferably one or more of PbCl.sub.2, PbBr.sub.2, or PbI.sub.2; and the solvent is preferably one or more of N, N-dimethyl formamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, γ-butyrolactone, or N, N-dimethyl acetamide. In the present disclosure, a molar ratio of the cesium halide to the lead halide to the ligand to the solvent is preferably (0.1-2) mol:(0.1-2) mol:(0.1-2) mol:1 mL, and more preferably 0.6 mol:0.6 mol:1.3 mol:1 mL. The present disclosure can effectively control the thickness of the obtained film by changing concentrations of the cesium halide, the lead halide, and the ligand in the precursor solution. The present disclosure does not provide special requirements for the mixing approach, and a mixing approach familiar to those skilled in the art may be used to uniformity mix the cesium halide, the lead halide, and the ligand with the solvent.

(24) After obtaining the precursor solution, the present disclosure deposits the precursor solution on the substrate, and then heating the substrate to obtain the CsPbX.sub.3 perovskite quantum dot film. In the present disclosure, the depositing approach is preferably spin coating, drop coating, scrape coating, spray coating, or printing, and more preferably spin coating. In the present disclosure, when the depositing approach is the spin coating, the spin coating preferably includes a first stage and a second stage in sequence, the spin coating in the first stage is preferably at a rate of 1000 rpm preferably for a duration of 10 s, and preferably at an acceleration of 500 rpm.Math.s.sup.−1 from rest to reaching the spin coating rate; and the spin coating in the second stage is preferably at a rate of 2000 rpm preferably for a duration of 20 s, and preferably at an acceleration of 1000 rpm.Math.s.sup.−1 from the spin coating rate in the first stage to reaching the spin coating rate in the second stage. The present disclosure begins to compute the spin coating duration after reaching the spin coating rate in the first stage and the spin coating rate in the second stage. The present disclosure does not provide special requirements for the substrate. A substrate material familiar to those skilled in the art may be used.

(25) In the present disclosure, the heating temperature is preferably 60-180° C., and more preferably 80-140° C.; and the heating duration is preferably 1-30 min, and more preferably 10-20 min. The present disclosure preferably heats the substrate on which the precursor solution is deposited on a heating stage. The present disclosure can remove the solvent in the precursor solution by heating; and make the cesium halide and the lead halide form a CsPbX.sub.3 perovskite quantum dot crystal by one-step deposition and heating, where the ligand can quickly coat the perovskite, complex with the CsPbX.sub.3 perovskite, and directly form the perovskite quantum dot via the strong steric effect.

(26) After completing the heating, the present disclosure preferably cools the film obtained after the heating to room temperature. The present disclosure does not provide special requirements for the cooling approach. A cooling approach familiar to those skilled in the art may be used, specifically for instance statically cooling.

(27) Compared with the conventional heat injection process or ligand-assisted reprecipitation process, the present disclosure directly omits synthesizing a colloidal quantum dot dispersion, whilst omitting solvent cleaning and multi-step film deposition in the conventional film formation process by spin coating of the colloidal quantum dot dispersion. The one-step crystallization of the present disclosure directly obtains a perovskite quantum dot film only by one-step deposition, heating, and crystallization of the precursor solution, and is simple with strong controllability. The product has high repetitive rate, and very low cost, and the resulting CsPbX.sub.3 perovskite quantum dot film has a thickness of more than 500 nm. Further, the present disclosure can control the particle size of the quantum dot by controlling the concentration, the heating temperature and duration of the precursor, thus changing the emission wavelength thereof.

(28) The method for preparing a CsPbX.sub.3 perovskite quantum dot film by one-step crystallization provided in the present disclosure will be described in detail below in combination with the examples, but the examples cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

Comparison Example 1

(50) The ligands in Example 1 were replaced with oleylamine, octylamine, or 4-phenyl butylamine respectively, while other components remained unchanged, to obtain a precursor solution. The precursor solution was spin coated on a substrate by a similar approach, heated at 100° C. for 3 min, and then cooled to obtain perovskite quantum dot films of different ligands respectively.

(51) Thickness analysis results of a section of the above perovskite quantum dot film and a section of the perovskite quantum dot film in Example 1 with a step profiler are shown in FIG. 16. Thickness of the perovskite film obtained from a conventional long chain ligand, such as oleylamine or octylamine, is about 400 nm, the resulting quantum dot film is obviously oily on its surface, and the quantum dot film has poor quality. A thickness of the perovskite film obtained with 4-phenyl butylamine as the ligand is 360 nm. Thus it can be seen that, quality and a thickness of the perovskite quantum dot film obtained by one-step crystallization with a conventional ligand, such as oleylamine, octylamine, or 4-phenyl butylamine, fail to reach levels of the quantum dot film prepared with adamantanemethylamine and hydrohalic acid.

(52) As can be seen from the above examples, the method for preparing a CsPbX.sub.3 perovskite quantum dot film by one-step crystallization provided in the present disclosure involves simple operations, and can obtain a high-quality perovskite quantum dot film with a thickness of more than 500 nm by one-step deposition and direct crystallization. The resulting perovskite quantum dot film is characterized by good fluorescence properties, uniform crystal grain distribution, and good stability.

(53) The above description only provides preferred embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that those of ordinary skills in the art may further make a number of improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present disclosure, and such improvements and modifications should also be regarded as falling within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
